New Name – Same Commitment And Care For You And Your Loved Ones

Since 2012, St. Mary’s Health and St. Vincent have operated as one statewide, integrated healthcare ministry. Together, we have worked to share our knowledge and best practices to enhance our delivery of healthcare across all of Indiana. And, together, we continue to improve access to the services that you and your loved ones tell us you need.

Following five years of work to provide greater healthcare to the communities we serve, on April 20, 2017, St. Mary’s will take on new names that better reflect the unity of our health system as: St. Vincent Evansville and St. Vincent Warrick.

This naming transition follows the work we have passionately pursued at both a state and national level to align our ministries, both clinically and operationally, to make it easier for our patients to access the care you need and navigate our healthcare system.

St. Mary’s and St. Vincent share a rich history rooted in our shared Mission of service dating back to our founders, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac, and the formation of the Daughters of Charity in 1633. I want to assure each of you – our loyal friends, donors and advocates – that our local quality, commitment and care of our Evansville and Tri-State communities will continue. Our local commitment to you and your loved ones will remain strong, as we move forward as St. Vincent – one of Indiana’s largest, integrated health systems.

While our facility names will change, our commitment to our shared Mission, Vision and Values remain the same. Just as we have for more than 100 years, our team of dedicated associates, physicians and volunteers will work together to bring health and healing to our community and all those we serve. This change is not about restructuring. No positions will be lost as part of this transition.

The St. Mary’s Chapel will keep its same, proud name and will remain a symbol of St. Mary’s history and heritage. The statue of Mary will remain at our main entrances. The St. Mary’s School of Nursing will continue to don its name and logo. And your generous gifts will continue to impact children and families we are entrusted to serve right here in Evansville.

We will continue to honor St. Mary’s legacy and build upon those who have come before us. We recognize that the history of our ministry is lived and remembered within our trusted partners, associates, physicians and volunteers. Our history will be remembered and will live on through you.

Your gifts will continue to have the same transformational impact on children and families in our community. Together, we will continue to Make a Difference.

Thank you very much for Supporting our Healing Ministry and for remaining loyal to our Mission! Blessings,

Rick Peltier
Director, St. Mary’s Health Foundation

USI Students Earn Top Accolades At Regional Theatre Festival

0

University of Southern Indiana Theatre students recently brought home an impressive list of accolades from the Region III Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) held this year in Indianapolis. KCACTF is a national theater program that hosts around 18,000 students from colleges and universities nationwide, allowing theater departments and students an opportunity to showcase their work and receive outside assessments and critiques from respondents and theater professionals.

Approximately 40 USI students, professors and staff members traveled to the festival which included a closing production of the USI Theatre production of Mr. Burns, a post-electric play in Clowes Hall located on the campus of Butler University. This was the fourth USI Theatre production to present at the KCACTF, and the first to close the festival.

“The festival provided our students opportunities to demonstrate their skills in acting and design, as well as working as a team to assemble, perform and repack our production of Mr. Burns in one day,” said Paul Weimer, USI assistant professor of performing arts. “They also took advantage of the many workshops available to extend their knowledge and meet students from other colleges who share their passion for theatre.”

The Regional Design Competition allows students to showcase work in their given fields of theatrical design, fields which include lighting, costumes, scenery, and sound. USI senior Austin Tenbarge won the Outstanding Lighting Design Award for his unrealized design of Slaughter City. Nicholas Smith, a senior, won Honorable Mention for his Lighting Design for Oedipus Rex.

The National Awards for Theatrical Design Excellence focuses on realized designs that have been produced on stage. Four USI students advanced to the final rounds: Rachel Thomas, a senior, for lighting design on The Glass Menagerie(She won the national competition in lighting in 2015 and 2016); Fred Kelley, a junior, honorable mention for sound design on Mr. Burns; John Merritt, a junior, for costume design on The Glass Menagerie; and Rachel Clark, a junior, who won the Theatrical Design Excellence award for her costume design for In the Red and Brown Water. She will be invited to present her work in April at the national competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

“This was my first time submitting a design to the KCACTF Festival. In fact, this was my first ever realized costume design,” said Clark. “You can imagine my surprise to come home as the recipient of the Theatrical Design Excellence Award. It’s truly an honor and the support I’ve received from the entire program has been absolutely amazing. I’ll proudly represent USI’s Theatre Program this April at nationals!”

Kelley added, “I was surprised to hear that I won an award my first time attending KCACTF. I’m thankful for the professors in the USI Theatre Department who helped me prepare for KCACTF, and for all the support they gave me from the early stages of designing the show, all the way through to giving my presentation at KCACTF.”

This is the third year in a row that USI design students have won national awards and advanced to represent the University at the finals in Washington D.C. During the festival, USI senior Nicholas Smith also co-presented a workshop, “Pixel Mapping Panel Design and Fabrication,” which was funded through a USI Endeavor grant.

Craig Bellwood, a 2016 alumnus, was the winner of the Region III round in the Musical Theatre Intensive Competition and will advance to the final round at the national competition in Washington, D.C. where he will compete against the winners of the other seven regions.

USI Theatre students also competed in the Irene Ryan Acting Competition, which provides recognition, honor and financial assistance to outstanding performers seeking to pursue further education in the arts. Participation in the event is limited to only those students who have been nominated to compete by regional responders. Aimee Bonnet, a 2016 USI alumna, and Jordyn Terrell, a sophomore, advanced to the semifinal round.

USI student and faculty participation in the festival is made possible, in part, through the support of the USI Foundation.

Fast starts lift Eagles past Pumas, into GLVC East Division lead

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball used fast starts to both the first and second quarters to roll past host Saint Joseph’s College, 85-66, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference contest Thursday evening.

 

The Screaming Eagles (17-3, 9-1 GLVC) scored the first seven points in the opening period and the first nine of the second as they jumped out to a commanding 40-22 halftime advantage.

 

USI increased its lead to 24 on a pair of occasions early in the third quarter, but the Pumas cut the Eagles’ lead to 58-45 with two minutes to play in the period.

 

The Eagles, however, responded with a 9-0 run to end the third quarter with a commanding 67-45 lead; then scored the first five points of the fourth quarter to expand their lead 27 with nine minutes to play in the game. USI led by as much as 30 points before settling on the 19-point victory.

 

USI had four players finish in double-figures in the scoring column and seven with at least six points. Junior forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) led the Eagles with 16 points and five steals, while junior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) chipped in 15 points, eight rebounds, three assists and three steals.

 

Junior guard Randa Harshbarger (Philo, Illinois) added 14 points, eight assists and four rebounds, while senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) chipped in 12 points, four rebounds and two assists.

 

The Eagles, who moved into sole possession of first place in the GLVC East Division with their win and No. 11 Bellarmine University’s 80-65 loss to the University of Indianapolis, shot 47.8 percent (33-69) from the field and 42.9 percent (9-21) from three-point range. USI also held a 38-30 rebounding advantage and a 21-10 lead in second-chance points.

 

Saint Joseph’s (8-12, 4-6 GLVC), which shot 30-of-33 from the free throw line, was led by senior forward Kalea Parks, who had 32 points and 11 rebounds.

 

USI returns to action Saturday at noon (CST) when it visits Indianapolis in a key GLVC bout. The Greyhounds improved to 14-6 overall and 8-2 in GLVC play with their win over Bellarmine Thursday.
